1i be under the landbavked spaces with other reteution uuder the main parking lot; a 4.5 foot higli berm will be installed at the rear or north with additional trees and shiubs planted on both sides of the board on board fence that will ruu fi•om the westerly property line to the easterly property line, and will return to screen the homes on the east. A neighbor had previously requested that tlus fence be joined to an existing fence on the condomiuium property so as uot to allow an opening for pedestrians to cut through. N1r. Zergott uoted that their detail shows a solid fence, but Mr. Gross assured him that it would be a board on board fence with a scalloped top. Mr. Criltz advised that they would have to work tlus out with the owners of the subdivision, or with the home ovvuer's association after the development is completed; as to who would maintaiu the opposite side of the mouud. Mr. Zergott recommended using soine other type of ornamental tree in place of the Washington Hawthorns which have two incli thorns, iuiless they are using tlus specifically for protection. He suggested some types of disease resistant crabapple, a different.type of pear from what they show on the plan. He also suggested enlargiug the two concrete islands to make a planting bed and centering a tree in them. Mr. Gross presented the lighting plau and cuts of the fixtures wluch reflects the suggestions of the planning coinmission. T71ese poles will be 18 feet lugh and the wattage of the metal halide lights has been reduced to 175 watts. Wall paks will be installed ou the rear of the building and will be directed down so there will only be a glow in the laudscaped area. He presented a drawing of the sign which is to be placed in the front landscape bed, but no specific location has been chosen as yet. It will be mill finished aluininum painted to match the Dover Sky Dryvit with back lit letters that will be done in wlute or burguudy to inatch the buildulg, but it might have to be adjusted to conforin to the setback codes. They will submit defiuite signage plans later. The building will consist of three units, an office supply store on the west, Levin Funuture in the iniddle and the Sear's building on the east. Mr. Gross explained that the inaterials iu the center are a ground block (Treadstone), altemating with Ramapo Wlute and Williamsburg on the columus; from the head of the window to the top of the coping there will be Dryvit in tluee colors, Madisou Way # 353 (a rose color) the center field color is Dover Sky, #104, and the coping is Tattletale #615-A (dark gray); they have replaced the red with a New London Burguudy wluch will be-on the stripe and the feature above the entry windows, the other windows will have bronze Duranodic fiames. He clarified that they did not lcnow how inany windows each store will require, so the drawing canuot reflect that. T7ie Sear's building does not require many windows and they will use the darker gray and wlute grouud masoury block on the facade of the building. Levin will have at least tluee windows ov each side of the entrance with floor to ceiling glass. Mr. Gallagher suggested going up a foot or two with another material for safety. Mr. Gross responded that they have had no problems with the glass in the past. Mr. Papandreas believed that using a inullion at the sill height might break up the glass. Mr. Yager suggested that they use the burguudy trim around all the windows. The fi•ont and side of Sear's garden ceuter has a split face brick wall below the wrought iron pickets (spaced 6 inches ou center) wluch will be the same burguudy. Mr. Zergott suggested blending in the color with the buildiug rather thau making it stand out. Mr. Giltz stated that he might prefer that and it was agreed to paint it Dover Sky. T'he Dryvit will be on top of the grillage and will return about 16 feet aud the balance of the wall will be Arctic Wlute split face block wluch will continue along the back and side to the retuiYi of the office supply store wluch will ruu 16 feet back. Mr. Yager is concerned about the Sears store when the windows are elimiuated. It was explained that there would be about au 8 inch base ou the bottom with the Dryvit above. Mr. Yager suggested using some kind of reveal to keep it fiom looking like a warehouse or something to break up the facade. Mr. Papandreas explained that there would be a feature canopy in the fiont, but would consider a mirror image of the columns along the side. Mr. Yager woudered about the Madison Way color, wluch did not seem to be of the saine fainily as the burgundy. The developers will look iuto it. It was clarified that the sigus 6
